Athena GTX (Des Moines, IA) has released an iPhone app for monitoring of patients connected to its Wireless Vital Signs Monitor (WVSM). The WVSM is a portable monitor that measures NIBP, SpO2 and lead II ECG. Additionally, it also has manual inputs for Glasgow Coma Score, temperature and respiration rate. Originally developed for the U.S. Army for use on the battlefield, the device is rugged and small enough to mount to a blood pressure cuff for point of injury care.
The system automatically captures vital signs data for up to 4.5 hours. Data can be transmitted through WiFi, to a PC or PDA, and now also to the iPhone app. It connects through an ad-hoc WiFi network and displays near real-time vital parameters. Up to 20 WVSM devices can be displayed at one time for managing multiple injuries
